Local Small Businesses Gain Edge With Georgetown Mba Students Free Consulting
22.05.12
Kinsail - Information management and payment processing solutions.
The Small Business Clinic is part of an MBA class in which students assist with the legal, accounting, and finance issues involved with designing business plans for small businesses and non-profits. Each year, these students are responsible for providing tens of thousands of dollars worth of free consulting to local organizations. This year, students examined projects from 16 companies, then voted on six to receive their consulting services.
Adjunct Professor Jim Hunt brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the helm of the Small Business Clinic. He has started, grown, and sold several companies with sales revenues of up to $100 million and is an angel investor and board member of many others. He also has engaged in tactical and strategic consulting projects for small companies while at Ernst & Young and Price Waterhouse.
"The Small Business Clinic is a great combination of academic focus and real-world practicum. The companies and nonprofits we work for have been overwhelmingly appreciative of the work product the students produce and, in many cases, have taken the projects and baked the results into their ongoing corporate initiatives. Along with Adjunct Professors Steve Goldenberg and Smith Wood, it has been a very fun, challenging and gratifying course to teach," said Hunt.
